Hi Everybody

hi, im a lurker who started on the morning 12/3 kind of half cocked and with dr atkins new diet cookbook but not the book i should have had. then i found you guys looking for the missing info. great group, fantastic info. i started at 42 year old, female, 5'8"1/2 and 203 pounds at the ymca in levi's only, and 6 days later i reweighed at 197! it's day 9 and my pants are falling off. i fell out once from something i couldn't figure out because i ate sugarfree jello and heavy cream the other days. but i popped back in about 20hours later, used a lot of sticks up waiting. im having trouble with water intake, god that stuff's bad, here it tastes like chlorinated dirt. and i haven't quite gotten past some tea and one cup of coffee a day, but maybe my body is so happy to be eating fat again that it's doesn't mind about the caffiene?

Re: Hi Everybody

Well that is nice progress. Congratulations
Keep working on that water - it is very important to get into the habit. If the coffee and tea is not affecting your weight loss that is fine but don't let it allow you to drink less water.

Re: Hi Everybody

thanks for the encouragement. i've been working on the water, i bought a 74oz container for a lemon water combo, or an orange water (from the skin). chlorinated dirt and citrus, yum!
